.......... Hell I would think/hope that they read this Board..... ok now whomever you might be..... get this done.... get our athletic name done!!!

Boomer you noticed this 2020 version of "name slack" in the department weeks ago.

My assumption would be that this is because the game stats were provided by ULM and that is what they called us on the Stat Page.

My early thought as well, but as Cajunrunner pointed out, UL didn't make this mistake after the "2018 game at ULM, we were listed as LA."

La Laf all over the ap as well. I listened to the game via the AP saturday.

Doesn’t ESPN and other places use on occasion UGA for Georgia etc... I feel we won the name war. Perhaps there are legal reasons UL doesn’t use “Louisiana” all the time?

Nope.

There are no legal reasons for anyone to avoid using "Louisiana" or "LA" on a ticker.

It's a "claimed" nickname.

From everything I can tell the athletic department righted the ship with Appalachian State and LSU Shreveport. Louisiana on everything.

[Turbine]

Why is "ULL" on the official Louisiana website?

Sports tickers are supposed to be "LA"

We need to get LA on the ESPN pick em game.

Ask any student what school they go to and see what answer you get?

No one has ever claimed that orientation was very well oriented.

Also due in part to decades of being educated by the Advocate, but that has slowed down immensely since Kevin Foote starter there a little over a year ago.

It does seem counterintuitive to say we want to be written as LA yet called UL and have crowd using the UL hand sign.

The fact of the matter is that the general public, including its student body refer to us generally as ULL. It is very seldom that our university comes up in discussions where somebody in the discussion, for some reason, has to throw in a ULL. We have come a long, long, long way but still have a long, long, long way to go. However, the more people make the correction or address it in passing, the better we will be.

Instead of correcting others on our name i like to remind them of their correct and full names
